Cassie's Journal - January 17, 2017

My day started early with the round of
goodbyes with Dad before he headed for the city.I know it’s just a personal choice that I
haven’t mentioned his work to get ready for the week in Crystal Springs, but I
really have been out of the loop with Dad this week while I’ve been busy with
studying, work, and everything else I have on the go.

That start to our day was fun; so was the
cuddle time with Mom, the twins, Silkie, and Mandy after Dad was on his way;
and then it was time to get up and going for the day.Michael came over for Tai Chi; he stayed for
breakfast; and then we eventually headed for school and our full-immersion into
mid-term exams.We wrote Geography,
Computers, and English today; the breaks between them gave us time for snacks,
drinks, and some cramming for those of us that still felt the need to do that;
and then we headed for Michael’s house after school for the short study session
and dinner break we had time for before needing to be back at the school for
our marching band practice.

The concert band and teen praise team
practices were cancelled for this week because of mid-terms, but since we don’t
have much time left to be ready for our day in the Disney parade spotlight; we
couldn’t skip this practice for the marching band.I didn’t really think much about that while
tutoring for our Calculus, Economics, and Physics mid-terms, but we did still
have a good practice; and we will be ready to go with everything when it’s time
to head for Florida.I’d mention the
countdown for that, but want to get through the exams week first before paying
too much attention to that; so let’s move along.We went back to Michael’s house for more
studying; kept working until eleven-thirty for some of our more worried friends
taking Calculus and-or Physics with us; and then I came home by midnight after
helping Michael with the clean-up.

that was more than three hours ago, and I’ve
been working for most of that time on the family business thanks to some extra
work that was dumped on me unexpectedly.That does happen now and then, but the timing this week sucks for me;
and now I’ll be in need of some self-healing in the morning to make up for the
lack of sleep.That’s also why I’m going
to just wrap this up and get on to the sleeping; since that’s more important
for me right now than dragging this update out with a bunch of little details
that just don’t seem important to me while I’m fuzzy and exhausted.
